The FanDuel API, answered

What exists

FanDuel does not publish a self-serve developer API for Sportsbook prices. There is no public key signup and no reference documentation for reading lines and odds. That leaves two options: scrape the Sportsbook site yourself and maintain it as markets change, or use a service that already does.

FanDuel API is that service. It reads every player prop FanDuel Sportsbook lists, normalizes each one per player and stat, and keeps every line and price change with its timestamp. You get one key for REST, webhooks and MCP. It is operated by FF API Inc. and is independent of FanDuel.

What a call returns

Each row is one prop record: the player, the market, the current line, and the over and under prices in American and decimal odds, with where it opened and when it last moved. See the full record shape on the player props API page.

Get a key

1. Create an account. The free plan needs no card.
2. Open the dashboard and create an API key. It starts with fd_ and is shown once, so store it as a secret.
3. Send it as a Bearer token on every request.

curl https://fanduelapi.com/api/v1/props?sport=nba&stat=points \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer fd_..."

Prefer code? The Python example lists props, reads a move history and polls for changes.
